===== Sign in or register =====

Use the Access area to authenticate with local credentials or with the identity route available in your environment. The screenshots show local sign-in, ORCID, and academic routes as examples. The exact provider list may vary between deployments, but the user-facing logic is stable: choose the route that matches your existing identity, authenticate, and then return to HORTUS with the permissions attached to that account.
